| Abstract | ||
| The present study is conducted to detect the prevalence of expression of heat shock protein (Hsp 70) by infection with Toxoplasma gondii among 90 aborted women only 70 of them with recurrent abortion due to toxoplasmosis infection and 20 without toxoplasmosis (10 feverish aborted women and 10 healthy aborted women) as control group. The concentration level of Heat Shock Protein (Hsp70) in aborted women was measured by ELISA technique according to many parameters such as age and number of abortion. Comparison between Latex, IgG- ELISA and IgM- ELISA concentration with Hsp 70 concentration expressed by T. gondii was carried out. The total number of studied cases of toxoplasmosis were 70 (100%) by LAT and 20 (29.5%) by IgM-ELA. and 69 (98.5%) by IgG-ELA. The present study revealed that the concentration of Hsp70 was elevated among those with 3 number of abortion 4.26% and 9.47% among those 4 number abortion. | ||
